MacBook Pro screen scrolling full-screen colors

I have 2 external screens connected to my MacBook Pro. I have had this setup for several years with no problems. Today while on the computer, the primary screen (not external screen) started scrolling full screen colors. It scrolls through White, Black, Red, Green, Blue, Light Blue, Magenta, Yellow, Grayscale, Grayscale (opposite direction), Multi-Colored vertical, Multi-Colored horizontal, Black and White Checkered. Then the pattern repeats. The computer operates just fine and the 2 external screens are not affected. The scrolling almost seems like a screensaver as it is semi transparent. I have restarted the computer a couple times, I have looked at all the settings, I have done online searches and no answers. Please help. Thank you.
